Lawyers in law firms spend the majority of their time either reading or writing, regardless of whether they are litigators or transactional attorneys. Go to a library and observe the people there. That's what practicing law looks like in most law firms. You get to talk more as you progress in your career, but that also requires prior preparation in form of reading and writing.
@@finlaygodfrey8222 It causes no confusion and makes more sense in this context to me, given that I’m not comfortable with claiming the amount to be clearly significant.
@@finlaygodfrey8222 which would be completely unnecessary if you heard this frequently. it's not strange at all. it has a slightly different meaning than significant when spoken. and most people get this.
Is nepotism permitted if (for instance) a Previous student Who graduated from Law school ( A random estimate they graduated 8 years ago.)... However, their father owns a successful law firm.... Would the son/daughter likely Or rightfully so- be permitted the partnership (when it comes about,) or should it go to the person with the best performance In the practice? Are there any laws surrounding this?
I’ve heard of and met a few people whose parents opened a firm and their children ended up being partner despite not being particularly skilled at their job. Take from that what you will. 👀
it’s a youtube short, not a full length video. the information has to be general & direct. I think there are some other creators who have gone in depth on this topic if you want to hear about that aspect.
Of course folks get laid off, but usually that's no more than 5% of associates at most so it's unlikely. And yes, minorities and women face many structural and institutional barriers to partnership. As an Asian american I know this well, given we are the most underrepresented minority at the partnership level in biglaw, no doubt because of the "bamboo ceiling" imposed on Asian folk. However, this video isn't focused on unpacking those disparities. It's about the process, broadly.
Thanks for making this videos, pleas make more
Will do !
What is different between senior associate and of counsel? 😅
I thought I wanted this after I came out of HS and watched SUITS

@@GogoMotoring well at least you don’t have to be good at Math 😂 I suck at math
So if most leave my question is how do they function and remain at the top? New comers come in and it’s a repetitive cycle?
Madeline and jasmine combo yeah your man is gonna fold😂💀
Eric Hansen vibes
That is the truth!
What’s bug law
Biglaw = firms with over 500 lawyers, huge revenue numbers and deal sizes
I thought we were gonna hear about bug law. 🐜☹️
@@jacquelinemarie9655same :(
An uglier possibility may be that those 5% (or some not-insignificant amount) already have familial connections at those firms.
Not-insignificant? Brother just say significant

@@finlaygodfrey8222 it does make sense. maybe you haven't heard people say it like this. it's not rare. it emphasises it.
@@emelyarye2641 didn’t say it doesn’t make sense, just pointed out that there’s an actual word for it.

Of the three friends of mine who have made Partner two have had a mental breakdown.

No laws surrounding it

No one wants to be a partner, same with Audit firms
Baby lawyers only see the salaries and have no idea how unfulfilling Big Law is.
Hair's lookin' good.
Thanks Mary :)
I love how you omit the fact that people get laid off, not to mention the structural disadvantages facing minorities and women, but okay.
